The following chart shows the position where the Moon
is directly overhead at the maximum times of the
total (in blue) and
partial (in red) lunar eclipses (penumbral eclipses are
omitted). Each eclipse will be visible approximately
from the half of the Earth centred on that point. Use the
zoom controls on the left to zoom in and out; hover over
a marker to see the area of visibility and summary
information on that eclipse.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.52; Saros 61)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 36 minutes, just 52% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
|
|
16 Jul, 0501 AD
max: 09:26 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.85; Saros 66)
|
At maximum eclipse, 85% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 3 hours and 47 minutes overall.

14 Aug, 0501 AD
max: 16:44 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.20; Saros 104)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 20% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 56 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 24 minutes in total.
